1. She’s From Utah
There isn’t much information floating around about Lindsey’s upbringing but we do know that she is originally from Utah. While Utah may be a great place for a lot of things, it’s certainly not the best place to start a career in the entertainment industry. Lindsey eventually decided to relocate to Los Angeles.
2. She’s A Private Person
As a writer and director, Lindsey spends all of her time behind the scenes, so it’s not super surprising that she would live her personal life in a similar fashion. She has never been one to share much personal information and Twitter appears to be the only social media platform she’s active on.
3. She’s Always Wanted To Work In The Film Industry
From an early age, Lindsey realized that working in film was something she wanted to do. During an interview with Discussing Film, Lindsey said, “I grew up around the independent film world and had always loved film and wanted to be a part of it. I had a roundabout journey to finally getting there, but it began in earnest with me moving to LA, writing scripts like a maniac and giving them to anyone and everyone who would give me the time of day.”
4. She Loves Science Fiction
Throughout her career, Lindsey has worked in a variety of genres, but science fiction is particularly close to her heart. Lindsey told Hypable, “What I love about it is that you can really take on societal problems in a funhouse mirror way, in a way you can’t in other genres. Just really say something. And also use the full breadth of your imagination. I love it.”
5. Sierra Burgess Is a Loser Was Heavily Inspired By Her Real Experiences
In 2018, Lindsey made her debut as a writer and producer with the film Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. The project helped establish Lindsey as one of the most talented up-and-comers in the industry.

6. She Finds It Important To Include Characters Who Are Disabled
Diverse representation is very important, and Lindsey is doing her part to bring it to her films. While talking to Hypable, Lindsey said, “For whatever reason, it’s always been important to me to create more roles for people who are thought of traditionally as disabled. We just don’t have enough of those, and even when we do we don’t have enough of them being played by actors who actually have those disabilities. ”
7. It’s Unclear If She’s Had Formal Training

Stephen King is easily one of the most well-known authors of his generation, and his books have inspired dozens of movies including Pet Semetary. Getting the chance to be a part of the Pet Semetary franchise is an incredibly proud moment for Lindsey as both a fan and a creator.
9. She Was Park Of The Writers’ Room For Godzilla Vs. Kong
Godzilla vs. Kong isn’t listed as a writing credit on Lindsey’s IMDB page, but she was actually a part of the making of the movie. Lindsey was in the writers’ room for the project and she told Discussing Film that it was one of her favorite movies to be a part of so far.
